I use a material language to describe immaterial realities.

I believe that all collections of matter have a capacity for life, personality, and can speak through arrangement, balance and context. The messages are there for all of us to see but they often need translating, so I use my experiences as an architect, carpenter and mechanic to speak the language of systems in a variety of dialects. As something leans, pulls or fastens, it describes an attitude or a part of a story. No object is inert.

My process is based on research, which can be defined as academic searches, one-on-one interviews, broad photographic investigations, and design-build iteration. Oftentimes, one project is expressed in many mediums around a particular topic. Because of this, my work varies wildly in “style” as I address specific topics or themes.

In a world suffocating with objects, I believe that by mindfully contemplating the nature of matter and its interactions, we might find deeper ways to connect to essential life forces.

I was born and raised in New York City, studied philosophy and architecture in college, and have crossed Turtle Island by car, train, or bicycle at least 7 times. I have attended residencies at the VT studio center, ACRE, This Will Take Time, SomoS, and BoxoPROJECTS, among others, and have shown my work across the US and in Europe, at AA|LA, BUOY, Space Gallery, Roman Susan, the Lust Gallery, 2C, and the Bronx Museum, among others. I am a member of the music group 7 Count, ocassionaly teach at Skidmore Collge, and currently live and work.
